I went to a market at an orchard yesterday, and there were a couple of food trucks outside. I definitely picked the one with a marker board someone wrote “donuts” on over the eldritch mac and cheese.

Speaking of cats, I’m reading Starter Villain right now, and I just reached chapter 3. Both Gandalf here and I appreciate the shoutout. (Although my 6-year-old K-pop Demon Hunters fan likes your cat’s name more.)

My solution is IKEA under-bed storage, but I plan to move in a couple of years; when I do, I will disassemble them and place each set in its own zip-top bag.
Dozens of multicolored Lego space sets from the 1990s fill a roll-out drawer.

When my wife painted our cats’ ceramic water bowl, she realized too late that the bubbles were going the wrong direction. Her attempt to add more prominent mouths on the correct side gave us a happy school of eyebrow fish.

This recent one I saw was a great example. How many times does a phrase along the lines of “Maui from the movie Moana is 7 feet 6 inches tall” appear online?
An AI overview on Google for the search “how tall is moana” reports that “Moana from the Disney movie “Moana” is 7 feet 6 inches tall. This makes her the tallest Disney princess, according to some Reddit users. While some may find this hard to believe, it’s consistent with the fact that Pacific Islanders are known to be quite tall, according to Quora.”

He got Trump’s endorsement immediately, so probably no one on the Republican side. Amy Acton was Ohio’s Dept. of Health director at the start of COVID and was a household name at the time. She has declared her candidacy, but Brown and Ryan are also in the mix, including in this hypothetical poll.
A hypothetical poll shows support for Amy Acton (20%), Sherrod Brown (59%) and Tim Ryan (17%). Without Brown, it shows Acton (46%) and Ryan (45%).
